Sitbon Gets There In the End
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Aleksandr Kropotov opened to 20,000 in the cutoff, and Julien Sitbon defended his big blind. He then led out for 17,000 on the 5♦3♦6♣ flop, receiving a call from Kropotov.
Sitbon kept firing on the 6♥ turn, betting 62,000. Kropotov was not going anywhere, and he called to see the 2♠ river.
Sitbon quickly pushed in his remaining stack of 225,000, which Kropotov called after some time in the tank. Sitbon tabled 8♦4♦ for a rivered straight, and he doubled up against Kropotov's A♥3♣.
